Understanding Strokes: What is a Hemorrhagic Stroke?

Dr. Gary Kavit, M.D. reviews hemorrhagic strokes, which are caused from bleeding or a blockage. This kind of stroke requires a different type of care, including the possibility of surgery. He places emphasis on being at a Stroke Center, like that located at Riverside, which can make all the difference on long-term recovery.

He emphasizes how important it is for individuals who are taking blood thinning medications to come to the hospital rapidly if they have any signs of a suspected bleed, such as a headache after a fall, because treatments are available, but only within a certain window of time.

If you suspect that you or a loved one is having a hemorrhagic stroke, don't delay and call 9-1-1 immediately!
